This sweet cousin of ours passed away last week. She was such a cool, good, vivacious girl, and way too young. We are so sad. We are so thankful we saw her last year (a la Baptisme). I also have amazing memories from a few weeks I spent with her in Saint Tropez in the summer of 2000.

She died in a tragic accident, in Bali. She certainly knew how to carpe diem, she was also a master accessorizer. I adored her more-is-more style and her lust for life.

In case you misplaced your October 1982 Ski Magazine...take a look at my copy.

Specifically page 108...where sweet baby O, age 5, shows us all how to do it! The copy is right, "the tot is every bit as good" as World Cup Champion Phil Mahre! We may need to frame this goodness in the chalet.

HB rallied to PDX for an AMS reunion with LL and I (and our littles). It was......SO GOOD!

In just 1 long weekend, we swam, we laughed, we had matching jammies, we bunked up in a 10 bed bunk room at timberline lodge, we kayaked, we water-skied, we paddle boarded, we laughed, we ate (s'mores, tacos, ice-cream, donuts, pancakes...), we got car sick (extremely), we hit the alpine slides, we laughed more...

Moi

I'm a midwest farmer's daughter who fell in love with a French ski racer from California. Recently, we jumped at the chance to move to Amsterdam for nearly three years. More recently, we returned home - to Portland, OR. We have a little boy and a little girl. Neither is too little anymore. I like happy colors and vacations. My college degree claims I am a Mechanical Engineer, although my heart tells me I am an artist. I'm also a runner. I love the word garden as a noun but not as a verb.
Thanks for stopping by.
